Income Statement

Net income for the 2025 third quarter ended September 30, 2025, was $8.9 million, compared to $6.5 million for the same period last year. Net income per basic and diluted share for the 2025 third quarter was $0.64, compared to $0.48 for the same period last year.

Net income per basic and diluted share for the 2025 nine months was $1.71, compared to $1.28 for the same period last year.

Deposits

At September 30, 2025, total deposits were $2.75 billion, an increase of 2.5% from September 30, 2024. The Company's cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.83% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to 3.21% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Mr. Eller commented, "We remain focused on growing core deposits by expanding our relationship-based banking solutions across our Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan markets. These efforts have supported year-over-year deposit growth, while we continue to actively manage our cost of funds. I am encouraged that our cost of interest-bearing liabilities improved 32 basis points to 2.84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reflecting our disciplined approach to deposit pricing and balance sheet management."

Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality

"We are experiencing stable demand for loans, supported by the success of our recently opened offices, the addition of new team members, and the advantages of our community-oriented banking model. This includes the opening of our newest office in Troy, Michigan during the third quarter, which is the second full-service location in the state. We also continue to add experienced market presidents throughout our footprint to maintain our local decision-making and during the quarter we promoted Curtis Metz to Market President for Northern Indiana. As F&M grows, we are committed to prioritizing asset quality. Net charge-offs to average loans have remained below 0.03% for 18 consecutive quarters, underscoring the strength and growing sophistication of our credit culture and risk management capabilities," continued Mr. Eller.

Total loans, net at September 30, 2025, increased 4.9%, or by $123.0 million to $2.66 billion, compared to $2.54 billion at September 30, 2024. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by higher commercial real estate, agricultural real estate, commercial and industrial, and agricultural loans, partially offset primarily by lower consumer real estate and consumer loans. Compared to December 31, 2024, total loans, net at September 30, 2025, increased by 3.8% or $97.5 million.

F&M continues to closely monitor its loan portfolio with a particular emphasis on higher risk sectors. Nonperforming loans were $5.2 million, or 0.19% of total loans at September 30, 2025, compared to $2.9 million, or 0.11% of total loans at September 30, 2024, and $3.1 million, or 0.12% at December 31, 2024.

F&M maintains a well-balanced, diverse and high performing CRE portfolio. CRE loans represented 51.0% of the Company's total loan portfolio at September 30, 2025. F&M's CRE portfolio included the following categories at September 30, 2025 ^(*):

Mr. Eller concluded, "We continue to believe F&M is in a strong position because of the platform we have built and the strategies we are pursuing to grow our business profitably. This fall, we will begin developing a new three-year strategic plan that will define our growth priorities and guide our next phase of success. The plan will leverage the solid foundation we have established and the community-banking values that continue to distinguish F&M across our Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan markets. We believe these initiatives will enable the Company to capitalize on opportunities within our footprint, enhance shareholder value, and further strengthen our role as a trusted financial partner to the communities we proudly serve. I look forward to updating our shareholders on our new strategic priorities."
